Masoe leads Garden Grove past Segerstrom

GARDEN GROVE – In the game program, Garden Grove's Maze Masoe's name was not listed on the team roster page. But rest assured, he played, which proved unfortunate for Segerstrom.

Masoe rushed for a career-high four touchdowns in leading the Argonauts to a 49-21 victory over the Jaguars in a CIF-Southern Section Southern Division second-round game Friday night at Garden Grove High.

The triumph - its seventh in a row - advances Garden Grove (10-2) to the semifinals, where it will face Laguna Beach next Friday at home. Laguna Beach advanced by ousting Northwood Friday, 28-21.

The loss for the Jaguars (9-3) marked the fourth consecutive year they have been eliminated in the quarterfinals.

"(Garden Grove) just dominated us," Segerstrom coach Mike Maceranka said. "They are the most physical team in the division. I'll be surprised if they don't make it to the final."

Masoe was part of a three-prong rushing attack that combined for 251 rushing yards and five touchdowns. C.J. Del Real led the group with 121 yards and two touchdowns, while Masoe had 78, and his younger brother Sione added 52.
